<p>I'm actually laughing at Karen's response to this, the problems seem to be a reoccurring issue ! Jobs do not get done, if they do... why did I have to report to the council after 3 years of waiting for a boiler to be fixed, 'fixflo' is a stop gap because no one can... Read Full Review

Absolute joke! Was a good tenant for 2 years until served a section 21 and kicked out so they could re-let the property for more. Now I’m fighting for the return of my deposit because they believe I owe them rent when I don’t. Avoid these con artists at all costs! Many people... Read Full Review

Absolute scam artists. This is a joke of a company. I have rented a property that I paid 6 months rent upfront for. I was assured that all work had been completed prior to my move in date.

An awful money-grabbing company. They took over our tenancy without even a phone call or courtesy letter. The first thing they did was send an email claiming our rent was late, when it wasn't. We had no communication with them when there was problems with the house. When we said we were... Read Full Review

As an unfortunate landlord who signed up with lobster I can honestly say I have never come across I more self-satisfied t+c's related company ever. The description of the service on the website bears no resemblance to what is offered to landlords or tenants. Exceedingly unpleasant and... Read Full Review
You pay 10 per cent per month for literally nothing. The website falsely advertises rent will be paid on time. In fact this is not the case. I am due rent from a property yesterday (last day of the month) but if I am lucky I may get it Tuesday. In my opinion an awful company, low on ethics and manners. I would advise any landlord, or tenant (after reading recent reviews) to seek an alternative

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
